Reply to Objection 2. The term "what" refers sometimes to the nature expressed by the definition, as when we ask; What is man? and we answer: A mortal rational animal.

BY definition a PERSON! Maybe your ancestors were animals mine weren't they were men.



Sometimes it refers to the "suppositum," as when we ask, What swims in the sea? and answer, A fish. So to those who ask, Three what? we answer, Three persons. http://www.newadvent.org/summa/1029.htm

So, when the question is posed "Three what?" the posters here would reply in what fashion?

I have no idea why someone would claim that a Spirit is a person..... NONE, or a burning bush or a pillar of fire or a pillar of smoke maybe you can.

Good discussion RAF.

Better then you'll get from the rest of this snots that post here.



So, from your point of view, a christian who goes on to meet their maker, once the soul leaves the body and goes back to God... they are no longer persons.

In Hebrew a soul is a body not some mystical sustance of a human being. "Nefesh" a living being

2 Corinthians 5:5-7 (King James Version)

⁵Now he that hath wrought us for the selfsame thing is God, who also hath given unto us the earnest of the Spirit.

⁶Therefore we are always confident, knowing that, whilst we are at home in the body, we are absent from the Lord:

⁷(For we walk by faith, not by sight:)

⁸We are confident, I say, and willing rather to be absent from the body, and to be present with the Lord.

⁹Wherefore we labour, that, whether present or absent, we may be accepted of him.

The spirits in prison that Jesus set free were no longer persons.

Of course they are persons, are you saying the God was a person then died and became God ?

Also, there is a big difference between a burning bush and Jesus Christ who was a real personal being.

² And the angel of the LORD appeared to him in a blazing fire from the midst of a bush; and he looked, and behold, the bush was burning with fire, yet the bush was not consumed.

³ So Moses said, "I must turn aside now, and see this marvelous sight, why the bush is not burned up."

⁴ When the LORD saw that he turned aside to look, God called to him from the midst of the bush, and said, "Moses, Moses!" And he said, "Here I am."

⁵ Then He said, "Do not come near here; remove your sandals from your feet, for the place on which you are standing is holy ground."

⁶ He said also, "I am the God of your father, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob." Then Moses hid his face, for he was afraid to look at God.

(Exo　3:2-6　NAS)

Did you know PE the only difference between your Roman Catholicism and RAF's legalistic Judaism is the fact that you believe that God is Triune, whereas RAF does not. Other than that both are legalistic to the point of eternal death.
